Bills vs Bears Preseason Betting Prediction
The Buffalo Bills enter their Week 2 preseason clash against the Chicago Bears riding a wave of offensive momentum and historical dominance in this matchup. When it comes to betting trends, this matchup screams potential for another high-scoring affair. Both teams have seen the total go over in the majority of their recent games, and in their last six head-to-head meetings, the over has hit every time. Buffalo’s ability to start strong — ranking top seven in first-quarter scoring — combined with Chicago’s defensive vulnerabilities, makes the over an intriguing play once again. For spread bettors, the Bills’ dominance both historically and in recent form cannot be overlooked. Chicago’s inability to cover at home, especially against Buffalo, makes the Bills the safer side in Week 2 preseason action.

Bills vs Bears Preseason Betting Prediction: Chicago
Chicago, on the other hand, has been fighting an uphill battle when it comes to consistency and covering the spread. The Bears have just one ATS win in their last twelve games, a trend that has cost bettors repeatedly. Defensively, their issues against the run are glaring, as they currently rank 27th in rushing yards allowed per game. Facing a Bills team with a top-ten rushing attack only magnifies this problem. The Bears’ defense has also struggled to contain explosive plays, giving up 5.86 yards per play, ranking 30th in the league. While they have a strong August track record at 5-0-1 ATS in their last six, that success will be severely tested against Buffalo’s versatile offense.
Bills vs Bears Preseason Betting Prediction: Chicago Trends
- Out of Chicago’s last six games, the total has been over in four of them.
- In its last 12 games, Chicago has a record of 1-10-1 against the spread.
- In each of Chicago’s last six games versus Buffalo, the total has been over in six of those games.
- In its last six games played at home, Chicago has a record of 0-5-1 against the spread.
- When playing at home against Buffalo, Chicago has a losing record of 0-5 on the road in its last five games.
- Over the course of the last six games that Chicago has played against teams from the American Football Conference, the total has been under in four percent of those games.
- Eight out of Chicago’s previous nine games against opponents from the American Football Conference East division have resulted in the total going over the point spread.
